Happy Birthday Bubby Sissy

Today was Ava's birthday. It is hard to believe that she is already one year old. A friend of mine once said that with children the days eek by so slowly and the years just fly.

I sometimes find myself wishing for them to be just a little older or a little more advanced. "If only they were both potty-trained, could feed themselves, walk better solo, clean up their own mess or take a bath themselves- then life would be good." The truth is life is good just the way they are and they are growing way too fast to wish for the next step too soon.


So Happy Birthday little Bubby Sissy!

(Chloe just drank some Crystal Light. She's not trying out for the part of "Joker" in the next Batman movie)



To celebrate we ordered pizza from the Chicago Pizza Factory whose owner has never been to Chicago but "learned to make pizza from an Italian guy who grew up in Chicago." It was good.



And I made a special carrot cake. Chloe helped me with the icing.

We didn't have any birthday candles so one chopstick had to suffice.



The tradition lives on of letting the birthday girl feed herself as much cake as she can handle.



Then, Ava showed off her new birthday pj's (after a bath of course)

oh, happy birthday to Bubby!!! I absolutely forgot to check the calendar, where I made a note of her birthday. Looks like she had lots of fun, and yes, they are growing fast!

I appreciate your posts so much -- I just needed to look at the pixs of those precious two little girls again. Please give them a hug from "G.G."

Beautiful girls!

Tell "Bubba sissy" that nana, Allyssa and I went shopping for her a few new outfits from the whole gang, got quite a few due to sidewalk sales. Mommy is going to get a few things too, we put together from the "what not to wear" show. Only it's the result of the show not the reason. ha Enjoy!!! Aunt Dawie
